!~PostGreSQL

Alles halb so wild.
Im Gegensatz zu MySQL (siehe dort) habe ich [PostGreSQL|http://www.postgres.de/] auch unter HPUX kompilieren können.

{{{
Geht auch ohne Root-Rechte mit 
configure --PREFIX=/home/dau
make && make install
}}}

Die Verwaltung erfolgt mit pg_ctl, einfach das Pg-bin-Verzeichnis in den Suchpfad einbinden:

{{{
% > pg_ctl --help
pg_ctl is a utility to start, stop, restart, reload configuration files,
report the status of a PostgreSQL server, or signal a PostgreSQL process.

Usage:
  pg_ctl start   [-w] [-D DATADIR] [-s] [-l FILENAME] [-o "OPTIONS"]
  pg_ctl stop    [-W] [-D DATADIR] [-s] [-m SHUTDOWN-MODE]
  pg_ctl restart [-w] [-D DATADIR] [-s] [-m SHUTDOWN-MODE] [-o "OPTIONS"]
  pg_ctl reload  [-D DATADIR] [-s]
  pg_ctl status  [-D DATADIR]
  pg_ctl kill    SIGNALNAME PID

Common options:
  -D, --pgdata DATADIR   location of the database storage area
  -s, --silent           only print errors, no informational messages
  -w                     wait until operation completes
  -W                     do not wait until operation completes
  --help                 show this help, then exit
  --version              output version information, then exit
(The default is to wait for shutdown, but not for start or restart.)
